I believe the Android and iOS SDK's allow you to do that. Not 100% sure though.

Yeah, their SDKs all have emulators.

Are these a built in sandbox (exe, etc)? or are these run within windows/linux themselves?

I think you just download the Android SDK, install it, and from there you can download whatever version you want and test it. Atleast this is how I recall it when I was playing with them over a year ago briefly. Sorry I can't be much help but one thing I do know was that it was very very sluggish this way. It doesn't run well on a PC but its a cool way to check things out.
